Status and Very First Commissioning of the Astrid2 Synchrotron Light Source S.P MOPEA003 Proceedings of IPAC2013, Shanghai, China STATUS AND VERY FIRST COMMISSIONING OF THE ASTRID2 SYNCHROTRON LIGHT SOURCE S.P. Møller#, N. Hertel, J.S. Nielsen, ISA, Aarhus University, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark Abstract The new Danish light source, ASTRID2, to provide 6 brilliant UV and soft x-rays from a 10-nm electron beam at 580 MeV, was completed in 2012. Commissioning is in 4 progress and planned to continue through 2013 with interleaved user operation of ASTRID, until all beamlines 2 are fully operational on ASTRID2 at the end of 2013. The X [m] beta status of the project will be given together with comments 0 0 10 20 30 40 on some identified issues. Lattice position INTRODUCTION 15 ASTRID is the 140 nm emittance UV/VUV/soft x-ray light source at Aarhus University now in operation for 10 almost 20 years. Electrons are injected and accumulated at 100 MeV from a race-track microtron to more than 150 5 mA before being accelerated and stored with lifetimes in Y [m] beta excess of 100 hours [1]. 0 0 10 20 30 40 The new machine, ASTRID2 [2, 3, 4], is designed to produce close-to diffraction-limited synchrotron radiation in the same energy range. With an emittance of 10 nm, a Figure 1: Horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) betafunctions in relatively low lifetime of a few hours is expected. Hence, ASTRID2. the new facility will employ full-energy top-up operation converting ASTRID to become a 580 MeV booster. General Layout and Lattice The project started in august 2009 with an expected The lattice of ASTRID2 is a double bend achromat with completion date in December 2013 with all 5 beamlines six periods. The nominal beta-functions are shown in Fig. operational. The total project cost is around 5 M€ 1 with the full-drawn curves. The lattice includes in including upgrades of existing monochromators and addition to the two quadrupole families pole-face beamlines. Since the start of the project, an additional windings installed in all the vertically-focusing gradient beamline was funded and is being built. dipoles mainly for adjusting the vertical tune. Four families of sextupoles are installed in the machine for DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION chromaticity correction. Two beam-position monitors and Table 1 outlines some parameters of the ASTRID2 four corrector magnets are available in each sextant of the accelerator. machine for orbit correction. Table 1: ASTRID2 specifications Installation and Mechanical Alignment Quantity Value All magnets and most other systems are mounted on the 6 heavy girders, see Fig. 2. The girders were delivered Energy 580 MeV with aligned magnets before being transported to the Betatron tunes 5.185; 2.14 accelerator hall. Subsequently the girders were aligned, but at the same time an independent control of the Horizontal emittance ~10 nm magnets on the girders was performed. Next, all vacuum Natural chromaticity -6; -11 systems with bake-out systems were mounted by opening Design current 200 mA up the magnet yokes. After installation of all equipment, the concrete shielding wall was installed. Although the RF frequency 105 MHz reinforced concrete floor was poured a long time ago, Circumference 45.7 m subsidence’s after the installation of the heavy concrete shielding has been seen, and a realignment of girders is Dynamical aperture 25-30 mm planned. Hence the commissioning of the machine has up Beam power 1.1 kW to now been made with a somewhat mis-aligned machine possibly up to a few mm. 2013 by JACoW — cc Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 (CC-BY-3.0) c ___________________________________________ ○ # [email protected] ISBN 978-3-95450-122-9 02 Synchrotron Light Sources and FELs Copyright 64 A05 Synchrotron Radiation Facilities Proceedings of IPAC2013, Shanghai, China MOPEA003 Vacuum System use of thin insulating “ceramic paper” and flexible print foils is used.

Most of the concrete shielding in place around ASTRID2 with some beamline components installed too. The upper left shows a magnet girder with the red dipoles, the blue quadrupoles and the yellow sextupoles. Radio Frequency System The cavity for ASTRID2 is an electron-beam welded capacitively-loaded copper cavity designed for the MAX IV project, but adjusted to the ASTRID and ASTRID2 frequencies of 105 MHz. A solid-state amplifier can deliver up to 8 kW of RF power. At present only ~1 kW has been supplied to the cavity as the final cooling system has just being finished. A Landau cavity will be installed later in 2013. OPERATIONAL STATUS ASTRID booster operation including extraction has been operational since almost 2 years. Up to 4 mA has Figure 3: First top-up tests at 65 mA during 3 days. Two been accelerated and extracted into ASTRID2 with short accumulations to 150 mA are also seen. efficiencies up to 75 %.

At the shown early test, the beam are presently being modified! accumulation was stopped and the beam only kept for a short period due to heating of the injection bumpers, see next section. Several functionalities and checks of the machine have been performed. For example, orbit correction has been demonstrated using the installed quadrupole shunts resulting in a correction of the orbit to better than 0.2 mm. Next, measurements of the beta-functions in the quadrupoles have been made using quadrupole shunting; see dots on Fig. 1. Variance with the nominal lattice is less than 20%. Figure 5: CAD model of the bumper magnet. The two improvements consisting of installation of the rf-screens and the copper cooling bars are clearly visible. CONCLUSIONS The replacement of the old ASTRID light source with the new ASTRID2 machine is in progress. In 2012 and 2013, interleaved operation of ASTRID and ASTRID2 allows operation for users without any long dark periods. After minor modifications of some ASTRID2 components, ASTRID2 is well on the way to reach the design current at the end of 2013 using 5 beamlines.

Molecular oxygen, nitrogen, and ozone have been detected on some satellites of Saturn and Jupiter, as well as on comets. They are also expected to be present in ice-grain mantles within star-forming regions. The continuous energetic processing of icy objects in the Solar System induces physical and chemical changes within the ice. Laboratory experiments that simulate energetic processing (ions, photons, and electrons) of ices are therefore essential for interpreting and directing future astronomical observations. Aims. We provide vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoabsorption spectroscopic data of energetically processed nitrogen- and oxygen-rich ices that will help to identify absorption bands and/or spectral slopes observed on icy objects in the Solar System and on ice-grain mantles of the interstellar medium.

In this article, we review the theory developed by R. Bonifacio and coworkers, who have been some of the first scientists envisaging its operation as a single-pass amplifier starting from incoherent undulator radiation, in the so called self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) regime. We review the FEL theory, discussing how the FEL parameters emerge from it, which are fundamental for describing, designing and understanding all FEL experiments in the high-gain, single-pass operation. Keywords: free-electron laser; X-ray emission; collective effects 1. Basic Concepts The free-electron laser is essentially a device that transforms the kinetic energy of a relativistic electron beam (e-beam) into e.m. radiation [1–4].

  • The Radiological Situation in the Beam-Cleaning Sections of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) I I CHAPTER 5 Benchmark Measurements
    Markus Brugger The Radiological Situation in the Beam-Cleaning Sections of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Technischen Wissenschaften eingereicht an der Technischen Universität Graz Rechbauerstraße 12 A - 8010 Graz CERN-THESIS-2003-039 //2003 Begutachter: Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr.techn. Ewald Schachinger Institut fur Theoretische Physik der TU Graz Graz, November 2003 Kurzfassung Diese Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit radiologischen Aspekten am "Large Hadron Collider", welcher momentan am CERN gebaut wird. Im Detail handelt es sich dabei um die beiden so genannten "Beam Cleaning Insertions", jene Bereiche in welchen man versucht möglichst alle Teilchen zu absorbieren, welche ansonsten in anderen Teilen des Beschleunigers zu Schäden führen könnten. Es werden zwei kritische Aspekte des Strahlenschutzes behandelt: Dosisleistung durch induzierte Radioaktivität und die Aktivierung von Luft. Die Anpassung des Designs dieser Regionen in Verbindung mit einer detaillierten Abschätzung der jeweiligen Dosisleistungen ist von großer Wichtigkeit für spätere Wartungsarbeiten. Bisher standen lediglich sehr eingeschränkte Studien über die in jenen Regionen zu erwartenden Strahlenniveaus zur Verfügung, welche diese Dissertation nun zu erweitern und vervollständigen sucht. Dabei wird eine neue Methode angewendet um Dosisleistungen zu bestimmen, welche, da sie zum ersten Mal zu deren Berechnung verwendet wird, sorgfältig im Rahmen eines Experimentes überprüft wird. Zusätzlich stellt die Aktivierung der Luft einen wichtigen Aspekt für die Inbetriebnahme des Beschleunigers dar. Jüngste Änderungen im Konzept des Beschleunigers, machen eine Revision vorhandener Ergebnisse und eine umfassende neue Studie notwendig. Die Ergebnisse von beiden Studien sind von großer Wichtigkeit für die weiteren Entscheidungen bezüglich des endgültigen Entwurfs der "Beam Cleaning Insertions".
